Austin

Got this over the transom:
There’s more to the 15th annual Austin Film Festival & Screenwriters Conference this year than just big names (Sam Shepard & Greg Daniels will be accepting awards). Aspiring writers from all over the country will once again converge from October 16-23 to make connections and meetings...

Besides enjoying over 200 movies throughout the festival, a 4 day Conference with over 90 panels represents the best in television (Matthew Weiner – “Mad Men”, Tim Kring – “Heroes”, Melissa Rosenberg – “Dexter”, Phil Rosenthal – “Everybody Loves Raymond…) and film (Terry Rossio, John August, Shane Black…). Badges start as low as $95. For more information visit http://www.austinfilmfestival.com or call 1-800-310-FEST (3378).
Has anyone been to the Austin festival? What did y'all think? How was the BBQ?

Banff Registration -- Rookie Rate

The Banff Worldwide Television Festival has opened its virtual ticket office. The first 100 registrants who haven't already come to Banff are eligible for the Rookie Rate. It's $1000, but that's a sight cheaper than the Early Bird rate of $1425 or the regular festival rate of $2125.

The Banff TV Festival is a great opportunity to meet Canadian producers and network executives. The first time I went, I had thirty set meetings in four days, not counting people I met in the halls and in the bar. Producers and network executives are more willing to meet you (being at Banff means you're serious), and there are also Face to Face programs and Breakfast /Cocktails/Dinners with Dealmakers where you can sign up to sit with execs for ten minutes whether they're interested in meeting you or not.

And lots of parties.

And you are in the absolutely stunning town of Banff Springs, with the Canadian Rockies all around you.

If you're in the Canadian industry, I consider Banff a can't-miss appointment. This year I hope to interview some of the writers who come to give master classes -- stay tuned.

Sorry at the Whistler FF

If you happen to be at the Whistler Film Festival, our short film, TWELVE WAYS TO SAY "I'M SORRY", is playing Saturday, December 1, 1:00pm, at the Village 8 Cinemas, in Theatre 7.

And if you're not, it will air on Bravo some time later in December. And after that, it will be on the Bravo site, I imagine.
